This is the last weekend of the NFL regular season and the season long prognostication competition I've had with Michael Watts of the Michael's Rant blog as we picked the results of 2011 NFL games.
It's been a fun but up and down season in which we both have had a taste of the lead during different stretches of the season.
My biggest one was two games and I got more than a little concerned when he opened up a four game advantage on me with two weeks to go.
I thought it was over, but I did write this comment when I made my NFL Week 16 predictions:
Upset Sunday was ugly to me last week and with only two weeks left in the regular season probably not going to catch Mr. Watts unless he collapses like his fave football team does.
That loud coughing sound you heard from the direction of the DFW area is Mr. Watts. His Cowboys lost and I erased a four game deficit thanks to a clutch 12-4 run through my picks while he picked a great time (for me) to have an 8-8 week. Translation: we're tied, so it all comes down to this week's games as to who wins this inaugural competition.
So let's get to the final week of the NFL season. Y'all know how I roll. Team to the left is the one I'm selecting with the home team in bold print. Mike's picks are here.
This it it. The bragging rights are on the line for the 2011 season. May the best prognosticator win.
